TITLE BLOCK
List the types of information found in the title block on the floor plan page. -Company name
- Why is some information found in General Notes? It helps to guide users about how to read the drawings and gives broad information on different aspects such as regulations specific to the project
-Project description
- What is the purpose of the legend?
-Title of page – Shell plan ground floor
To indicate what's being represented,
-Project nb
like a key
-Drawn by
–
-Checked -Scale -Date printed Why might this information be important? For a person who doesn't know the details of a project to become familiar with them. It's also important for detailed information to be clearly documented. 2
DRAWING CONTENT - PLANS
- What type of information is shown in this floor plan? 1:100 scale
Why are some parts of the drawing annotated? Illustrate how the annotations are associated with the relevant part of the drawing.
(fire-door annotation) Gives specific information e.g. fire-door can be differentiated to other normal doors – would otherwise not be able to be seen (because of large scale 1:100) - Illustrate how the locations of sections are identified on the plan. What do these symbols mean? Identified by circular symbols with small triangle on top, giving page references Block reference & section sequential nb Dwg reference nb
existing walls references materials dimensions
- Illustrate how references to other drawings are shown on the plan. What do these symbols mean? Circular symbols guide to other specific/ larger/ more detailed and or labelled drawings Detail sequential nb
placement of doors and windows
Dwg reference nb
grid lines annotations -Provide an example of the dimensions as they appear on this floor plan? What units are used for the dimensions? 900 - Is there a grid? What system is used for identifying the grid lines?
- How are windows and doors identified? Provide and example of each. Is there a rationale to their numbering? What do these numbers mean? Can you find the answer somewhere in the drawings? Door – DG. nb Window – WG. Nb Specific door/ window's label number
Yes,
- Illustrate how floor levels are noted on the plan?
1-16 above, horizontal
e.g. Finished floor level –
A-E on vertical axis
F.F.L. 69. 300
- Are some areas of the drawing clouded? Why? Amount of issuing (changing drawings to adaptions) and date tender/ pricing
coordination construction cloud – indicator of where/ what's been changed 3
- Illustrate how the doors and windows are identified on the elevations. By a thick grey outline - Are any parts of the elevation clouded? Why? Yes – I think sheet with referencing details wasn't included - Illustrate where this elevation is located in relation to the plan?
DRAWING CONTENT – ELEVATIONS
- What type of information is shown in this elevation? How does it differ from the information shown on the plan? Shows several storeys plan – one floor different directions of elevation EAST, WEST specific annotations e.g. new glazing new gate mechanical vent -Are dimensions shown? If so, how do they differ from the dimensions on the plan? Provide an example of the dimensions as they relate to the elevation. Only some dimensioning shown and they are without numbers
- What types of levels are shown on the elevations? Illustrate how levels are shown in relation to the elevation.
4
DRAWING CONTENT – SECTIONS
- What type of information is shown in this section? How does it differ from the information shown on the plan and elevation? It includes three different views - Are dimensions shown? If so, how do they differ from the dimensions on the elevation? Very few and as opposed to elevation dimensions, they included a measurement - What types of information on the sections are expressed using words? Illustrate how this is done. Some rooms are labelled where they appear in building e.g. student lounge, group study - Illustrate how the section drawing differentiates between building elements that are cut through and those that are shown in elevation (beyond). Relative closeness is depicted by thicker and darker lines, the closer things are - Provide examples of how different materials are shown on the sections. E.g. Brick is shown in brick like pattern
Levels are shown in a grid system Numbers are on the horizontal axis at top, vertical axis – several broken lines labelled by roof lines and ceiling lines - Is there a legend? What does it identify and how is it used? No - What types of information on the elevations are expressed using words? Illustrate how this is done. General annotations, using arrow system
- Find where this section is located on the plans. At about A-1
5
DRAWING CONTENT – DETAILS
- What sorts of things are detailed? Specific materials for walls, flooring and specific finishes - Are the details compressed using break lines? Why? Yes, to differentiate between materials - Provide examples of how different materials are shown on drawings at this scale. Timber – looks a bit like timber grain, kind of wiggly lines galvanised steel – thin grey parallel lines -Find the locations of these details on the plans, elevations and sections. (found on wall sections sheet 1)
